Delighted In God Alone

Paul Luckett | Brainflurry.com - Delighted In God Alone

If I have God and want anything else, I do not see God properly.

“Whom have I in heaven but You?
And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You.”
— Psalm 73:25

God is more than enough—He is exceedingly greater than anything I can desire.

If I have God and want anything else, I do not see God properly.

So, my prayer in this season is,

“Please let me see you, God.

Lord Jesus, I want to see the Father the way You do.

I want to love Him the way You do, so that I may gain the same heart and mind that You have—a heart so full of love for the Father that it needs nothing else.

Help me, Lord Jesus.

Please, Holy Spirit, open my understanding.

In Jesus name I pray.

Amen.

I want to be delighted with God alone.
Please pray for me.

True Freedom

The key to true freedom is to be able to enjoy something without needing it (Philippians 4:11-13).

The only thing I need is Jesus (2 Peter 1:2-4).

When I have Him, He said all the other things I need, He will add to me (Luke 12:31).

Therefore, if I have all I need, I should be able to put any and everything else down and be fine without it (1 Timothy 6:6).

If I find myself restless, discontent, or in any way incapacitated without something, that thing is an idol and sin (1 Timothy 6:6-11).

It’s an idol because it’s doing something for me that only God should do (define me, fulfill me, make me secure, etc).

It’s sin because it’s hindering me from loving properly [because it affects me functioning and I have allowed it to incapacitate me in some way] (Matthew 24:12).

“Little children, keep yourselves from idols.” – 1 John 5:21

*As usual, I’m preaching most so to myself.
